Abstract: 

The anaerobic degradation of p-cresol under denitrifying conditions by a bacterial consortium was studied in batch and continuous cultures. Concentrations up to 3 mm were degraded within 5–6 days with 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 4-hydroxybenzoate as intermediates. Steady states could be maintained at only one dilution rate, D=0.04 h⁻¹. A further increase in the dilution rate to 0.0 8 h⁻¹ resulted in culture wash-out. An estimation of the Saturation constant was made (<1 mg/l), taking the maximum specific growth rate as 0.045 h⁻¹, thus yielding a value of 0.125 mg p-cresol/l.
